Wintertime in Orlando is a magical season, and there’s no better way to take advantage of the city’s wintertime beauty than to get engaged in one of the many places Orlando has to offer!

Whether you’re looking for a perfect place to propose or just want to find an amazing backdrop for the special moment, Orlando has plenty of options to choose from.

From picturesque gardens and lush botanic parks to dazzling skylines, Orlando is a winter wonderland full of opportunities that suit you and your partner best.

Here are some of the best places to get engaged in Orlando in the winter!

Gaylord ICE

Gaylord ICE is perfect for couples who love to embrace wintertime and the holidays! Located at Gaylord Hotels, the winter wonderland attraction offers a fun and whimsical experience.

The arena is filled with ice sculptures featuring scenes from holiday classics and is truly an impressive sight to see.

This year, the theme is How The Grinch Stole Christmas and you can get your tickets here. Oh, and don’t worry, they provide you with parkas so you can enjoy the sights and drop down to one knee without freezing your buns-that-are-used-to-Orlando-heat off.

Balloon rides

Orlando is a city filled with opportunities for magical moments and beautiful scenery, but nothing quite compares to flying above it all in a hot-air balloon! And Orlando is home to some of the best hot air balloon rides and events.

One place we love recommending to couples is Bob’s Balloons. When it comes to your engagement plan, you want everything to go smoothly. So if you’re going with an experience, it’s important to choose vendors who have a great reputation and who can also provide a unique, detail-oriented experience.

Bob’s Balloons is an especially great place to book your balloon ride because they are experienced professionals. Plus, they offer celebration flights, with an opportunity to receive mementos of your special flight. You can also book a private flight, champagne brunch flight, or schedule a flight to pick you up from your home or hotel (if the wind permits).

No matter who you choose, though, one thing is certain: Getting engaged while soaring through the sky in a hot air balloon ride is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

And it’s a unique experience to enjoy your new engagement while taking in views of Orlando that you’re sure to never forget.

Top of the wheel at ICON Park

ICON Park is one that you may hear us recommending quite a bit, but it’s only because it’s truly a one-of-a-kind place that’s perfect for big occasions, like first dates, anniversary dates, or getting engaged!

Located in the heart of the attractions area, this place is a hub of entertainment and adventure, and a great place if you and your significant other are looking for a memorable place to get engaged this winter.

You and your partner can enjoy the scenic views of ICON Park from the top of The Wheel and take in the sights from Walt Disney World to downtown Orlando from a new perspective. Not to mention, it’s an intimate experience. But once you step off, you can celebrate at one of the many other attractions!

Cinderella’s Castle at Disney World

Ah, the famous Cinderella’s Castle at Disney World! If you and your partner are Disney fans, this is a no-brainer spot to get engaged. The castle in particular is one of Orlando’s most iconic landmarks, and there’s something especially so magical this time of the year with the park decked out in festive lights.

You can celebrate the special moment of your engagement by proposing to your partner in front of the beautiful castle, taking advantage of the gorgeous backdrop for some photo ops, and then celebrating the rest of the day in the park!

We can’t think of a more romantic, exciting, and fun way to propose in Orlando during the winter!

At-home proposal

The holiday season is a special time for family and friends. What better way to express that love than popping the question to your special someone? Not only will it be a memorable moment that you’ll cherish forever, but it also gives you the opportunity to be surrounded by the people you love.

Whether you plan a romantic candlelit dinner or a surprise party with all of your friends, you can create a holiday proposal that will be remembered for years to come. One thing is for sure: having an at-home proposal during the holidays is an unforgettable way to make the season even more special.
